Keep your plan clean with IWS 9.3

Since version 8.3, Workload Scheduler is carryforwarding by default all workload that is not complete to the next plan, including the workload that is in error.
This is generally good and allow to assure that all workload that is in the plan is actually run and not deleted just because the day has gone or a JnextPlan -for 0000 has been run by an admin.

The drawback of this behavior is that if end users are not really interested about that workload, they may leave in the plan forever the jobs that has ended in error, causing the Symphony and the Pre-Production plan (LTP) to grow without control, and then impacting the overall performances.
So admins have to cleanup the plan for jobs that are not really required, starting with IBM Workload Scheduler 9.3 there is a new option that can make this cleanup easier.
